Please could you help me bring my boys to visit their nanny who has a terminal cancer diagnosis
Avondale, Auckland
My beautiful mum, my bestest friend, was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive cancer over a year ago.
She underwent surgery, we had hoped she would be okay, we were told it could return and tragically it has. This time around, it meant mum had to undergo the strongest chemotherapy to try and combat it, as she had lesions in her liver and lungs. My mum was so brave and resilient and did her best to fight this cancer but this chemotherapy was absolutely brutal. It resulted in mum being hospitalised with life threatening sepsis and this has since left her with severe complications from the chemo leaving her immobile. She has only recently been discharged from hospital and we were terrified we would lose her to sepsis.
My mum and my dad had hoped to return to New Zealand, at the beginning of this year, the plan being that mum would complete 6 rounds of chemotherapy and be well enough to fly out to visit. Tragically her 4th round of chemotherapy led to her being hospitalised and her most recent CT scan showed that the chemotherapy should have worked but it hasn’t and the cancer has continued to grow and spread in her liver. Without treatment, my beautiful mum now has terminal cancer and a 6 month life expectancy.
she is not well enough to fly to New Zealand to visit her grandsons Xavier and Ezra. She loves them so very much.
Please could you help me raise funds to organise a flight for my boys and myself to visit their beloved nanny in the UK. I am heartbroken to write this.
Flights for my boys and I to visit my mum and spend time with my mum and make some memories with my mum who has a terminal cancer diagnosis. If I do not raise enough to get my boys over, funds will be used to bring my Dad or brother to NZ once she passes.
Flying to the UK thanks to all your generous support and help! 2 April 2024
Dear family and friends,
I just wanted to say the biggest thank you for all your kindness and generosity.
Thanks for making this happen because Xavier, Ezra & I fly out to the UK tonight for just under a month!
We can’t wait to make memories with my beautiful mum, their Nanny & Grandad too :)
